I tracked the '07 Z at Gingerman Raceway in South Haven, Michigan yesterday, 4/17/07. After my third session on the track, and finding that my brakes were starting to fade, I brought the car in. Opened the hood to cool down and found that a brown colored fluid had been sprayed in front of the air intake.
It appeared that some fluid had escaped from the power steering resevoir, but then there was some fluid towards the bottom of the air intake near the oil "cooler".
Oil level in the car remained full, as well as brake fluid. After the car cooled down the brakes were fine and I ran two other sessions with approximately 6-7 laps per session, brakes were fine.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with their car? I believe the problem is associated with the power steering resevoir, but I can't explain or figure out how the fluid got down to the air intake.
The car goes in tomorrow for its first oil change at 3,500 miles. I will have them check this out but wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks in advance for any input or advice. :thumbsup:
